What used to be the exclusive domain of NBC has now become the CBS Thursday Juggernaut. (I just wanted to write juggernaut...wouldn't that be an explorer of the jugger? Like astronaut?)8pm is a tight hour all around, but "Survivor" will take it. It'll be interesting to see how much cannibalization there is between "Alias," "The O.C." and "Smallville." "CSI" is so obviously 9pm, the only question is if it breaks its own record for total viewers. "The Apprentice" and The Donald take second. I'm not sure there's anyone left to watch anything else at 9. "Without A Trace" will probably not increase its lead over "ER" -- it'll hold steady.
Winner: "CSI."
